At Iconic Holding, Patrick launched sub-brands Iconic Lab, a seed-stage crypto venture capital group, and Iconic Funds, a licensed and regulated crypto asset management firm. Patrick will continue working with Iconic Holding, an important strategic component of Cryptology's portfolio.

"Cryptology, with one of the world's strongest blockchain- and crypto-related balance sheets, boasting inspired investments in the likes of block.one and Northern Data, is a sleeping giant ready to wake," said Patrick. "I am humbled and excited to be tasked with leading Cryptology to realize its untapped, and unlimited, potential."
